My Problem

shattered glass and needed new antenna

My Fix

removing the broken glass was the biggest hurdle

My Advice

i forgot to check ifixit before ordering the replacement glass, so i had to order the adhesive and antenna later from ifixit - would have been better to get the whole kit from here!

My Problem

I shattered the screen on my iPad 2. In the removal of the front panel I tore the wifi antenna. I ordered the antenna and follower the guide to complete the repair.

My Fix

The guide is good, leaving little to the imagination. I had trouble with getting the SIM card out at the start of the process. I was using a paper clip, not the tool. Later in the process I was able to remove the card by removing the clip that keeps the card in place. It is held by a single screw just above the SIM card bracket.

My Advice

Be very careful with the digitizer removal. I thought I was, but I still tore the wifi antenna. To save time consider getting a front panel and an antenna at the same time. It will save you a week. If you can't get the SIM card out at the start of the sequence you can still do it later.

My Problem

Replacing broken front panel digitizer ,

My Fix

Well everything goes well , ifixit step by step tutorial is easy to follow , best part is every steps goes with picture , my repair goes well , at start when I almost done removing the broken digitizer. But in my rush and I damage the wifi cable.

My Advice

My advice is not to rush ! Follow what the manual and expert say.

My Problem

Ipad 2 fell of a table and impacted on the upper right corner causing large spider cracks in the front display but was otherwise still usable.

My Fix

Prepare for a long haul if you have lots of small cracks on the right side where you start the removal process. Total time was about 4.5 hours to soften all the adhesive and pick out the individual shards. Even with taping the display I found the plastic picks would get hung up on each crack. After getting the display off everything was relatively easy.

My Advice

Get the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Antenna if it is your first time doing this repair. You most likely will damage it without knowing it.

My Problem

Broken

My Fix

Not bad

My Advice

I removed the glass with a hobby heat gun. The glass also broke the antenna. After removing the glass, I took the screw out that hold the antenna and pulled up the wire very easy. I cut the wire to the antenna about 1 inch from the iPad . I then put heat shrink on the wire before I solider the new antenna on to the old wire. Then I used the heat gun and on the heat shrink. I reinstalled the antenna with the screws,reinstalled the glass and ribbon tape as they said. Works great,about 20 minutes

My Problem

My Problem

My wife broken the screen on her iPad. After we had it fixed, the iPad didn't do wifi very well. The shop damaged the wifi antenna but claimed it couldn't possibly be them.

My Fix

I ordered a new antenna from another place and it didn't work. Ordered another wifi antenna from you and after I installed it, the wifi works great.

My Advice

Use the internet to obtain info and with a little skill and a lot of patience, you can do this repair

My Problem

Cracked screen.

My Fix

All went well!

My Advice

None.

My Problem

Broke the antenna while removing the glass.

My Fix

It went well. Since the glass was already removed, the hard part (in my opinion) was already done. after re-assembly, I had to reconnect the digitizer cable again because it wasn't getting a good connection.

My Advice

Don't break the antenna when removing the glass! :) I knew it was a possibility but because the screen was broken, the glass was very stubborn in coming up.

My Problem

This was my second time to repair a cracked iPad2 screen, only this time I broke the wifi antenna in half while trying to pry away the screen. I knew this was a possibility but my first screen repair went smoothly so I might not have been so careful this time.

I removed the screen (already had that part) and immediately ordered the wifi antenna from ifixit

My Fix

Everything you need to know is on the guide. at first, it seemed like there were unnecessary steps but I later realized that the wifi antenna is in fact, "buried" underneath other components. Those components must be removed to access the antenna.

My Advice

Work slowly and carefully and follow the guide without interruption-you will do fine! I'm definitely no tech guru (mostly stay at home mom, but also a surgery RN-maybe that's what has helped me be successful in this repair!)but I think anyone can make repairs by using these guides and parts.
